  Description     : A setproctitle implementation for Python

The library allows a process to change its title (as displayed by system
tools such as ps and top).

Changing the title is mostly useful in multi-process systems, for
example when a master process is forked: changing the children's title
allows to identify the task each process is busy with. The technique is
used by PostgreSQL and the OpenSSH Server for example.
